I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />r <br />I <br />r <br />i <br />c <br />Now that the construction on County Road 15 has substantially ended, <br />any justification for even temporary access to Woodhill Avenue has <br />evaporated. Of course 15 is busier than Woodhill Avenue. Woodhill <br />Avenue is a residential zone. The patrons of Woodhill Country Club do <br />not face a different situation from the patrons of any other business <br />or from anyone else who must acces 15. To allow business patrons of <br />the club to access a residential area simply so that they can avoid <br />traffic, flies in the face of the very reasons for zoning laws. Any <br />patrons who wish to go west on 15 need only turn right out of the club. <br />Those wishing to find a shortcut to 12 should not be allowed to measure <br />about a minute of their time against the safety of an entire <br />neighborhood. (We might point out that much of the donger ensuing <br />from poor sight lines and width concerns would also fall on club <br />members who use the back entrance). On entering the club from 15, <br />patrons have the benefit of a turning lane. There Is simply no <br />justification for opening this access and creating the precedent that <br />zoning laws can be disregarded for mere convinience. <br />We appreciate the effort that the City has put into keeping this <br />access to Woodhill Avenue dosed. Please continue that effort by <br />denying Woodhill's application for these amendments to Its CUP. <br />Thankyou, <br />Jerry Scorch and Shelly Storch <br />Woodhill Avenue, Orono <br />cc.
